Pottermore: The New J.K. Rowling Website

On Tuesday the second of August, I was accepted as one of the first million fans of Harry Potter to enter J.K. Rowling's new website, Pottermore, early, as Pottermore opens in October.

I was asked to answer a riddle about Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, and to type in the answer on the end of a link that would lead me to the Magic Quill.

I also had to register my acount once I had found the quill and then I had to wait for an email that would grant my acceptance to the website early if my mum confirmed the email within 24 hours.

I answered the riddle: "In which chapter did Professor McGonagall cancel the quidditch match between gryfinndor and Hufflepuff. Multiply your answer by 42". I answered correctly and found the Magic Quill before the link closed for the day.

On her new website, J.K. Rowling will be revealing extra details about the series of Harry Potter books that she has been hoarding up for years. Pottermore will be a website where people of all ages can share, participate and rediscover stories.

J.K Rowling quotes that Pottermore will be a 'safe, unique, online reading experience built aroyund the Harry Potter books. Potter more will also be a place where you can purchase digital audio books, and, for the first time, ebooks of the Harry Potter series'.

Remember, Pottermore will open to everyone in October, but there's stil a chance to be one of the lucky few who can enter early and help 'shape the experience'.

So go to Pottermore now, as you still have a chance to gain an early registration until the eigth of August!
